Outreach

The Outreach Service

This is a support service specifically for women and children who are affected by Domestic Violence.

We can support you whether the abuse is emotional, physical, sexual, mental, financial or a combination. We can help you if you are currently being abused, or if the Domestic Violence happened at some time in the past.

We can give you one to one support, advice and help from someone who understands Domestic Violence, and the problems it can cause.

We have female support workers. You can meet us just the once, or more if required. The support you will receive will be flexible and designed by you and your support worker to meet your needs. The service is also available in Urdu, Gujarati and Punjabi.

To find out more telephone our 24 hr staffed Helpline – 01772 201601. We can then arrange an appointment for you.
